But we've beaten this horse over and over with all the deaths being grouped under covid related. I know most people in my area did things normal as well. I had 1 employee die which really sucked. He was a real good guy. But he was also a smoker for over 40yrs and had problems walking 50ft without gasping for air. My aunt and uncle died also. they lived in SC and both were in their 80's. Not that age makes it ok, just stating details.
I'm currently reading "Diary of a young girl," which is the unedited version of Anne Franks diary. She mentioned this very thing in one of her conversations with Kitty (Kitty is the name she gave her diary). Not so much for bombers, but for soldiers on the ground. I've completed about 60% of the book so I'm not sure if they did the same for bombers (rumors that if Gremans had to retreat, they would destroy cities on their way out).
Just realized this is Roe vs. Wade thread. In an attempt to get it back on track, where are we at on the thread topic?
Well, for people not in Ohio, the Ohio illegally gerrymandered (per multiple bipartisan Ohio Supreme Court Decisions) Republican supermajority state legislature is trying to ram through a major change to the Ohio Constitution in August in an attempt to derail a Reproductive Rights Amendment that will be on the ballot in Nov. So games are still being played.
Right now, Ohioans can amend their Constitution by a simple majority. Republicans want to change that to a 60% threshold. Coincidently, the Reproductive Rights Amendment is polling at about 58%. Additionally, they want to change the number of signatures needed and changed the timeline to the point in the future that getting any citizen-led amendments on the ballot is virtually impossible. Then after making August elections illegal except for very specific fiscal emergencies because of high cost (over $20 million) and low turnout (less than 10%), the Republicans put Issue 1 on the ballot as a stand-alone election in August.
This current State House has already shown they are willing to subjugate the State Constitution (see illegally gerrymandered districts), no one, Republican or Democrat, Conservative or Liberal should hand over more power to them. Issue 1 has more serious long-term effects than simply stopping an amendment that a majority of Ohioans are indicating they are for.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
